quote
8:03 am
at the white house about whether or not president trump is going to have to start wearing a bulletproof vest for future events in public. jacqui. jacqui: peter, thank you so much. all right. i'm joined now, live, by the president of the united states, president donald trump. president trump, thank you very much for joining us on "the sunday briefing," sir. first off, how are you after all of this, and how is the first lady doing? >> she's doing great, i'm fine, and it was a very sad evening in many ways. and it was also an evening where a lot of people got together. it was very -- i saw some democrats as we were leaving, and they were generally hostile, and last night they wereg to me. politicians, congressmen, senators, they were waving and saying great going and hello. so there was something very nice. i tell you, i mentioned it last night in my little discussion. i think they came together.
8:04 am
the place was just coming together. it was very nice to see, actually. jacqui: i think you really struck the right tone, i have to say, in your remarks afterward -- >> thank you. jacqui: -- letting the world know you're not going to let someone who wished to do us harm snuff out our right to gather and the recognize the role of the free press in a democracy and that your leadership in that moment telling the world to, you know, continue and stay strong was important the hear. but i want to ask you about this news that we heard from the white house about cole allen, the suspected shooter, and his motive.. i'm being told that he had a manifesto saying he wanted to target trump administration officials. he had a lot of anti-trump and anti-christian rhetoric on his social media accounts and left a manifesto in his hotel room that his brother had notified new london police about prior to this incident. i know secret service agents have been talking to his family members, his sister at their residence and said that this
8:05 am
individual apparently attended a no kings protest in california at some point. and that there was some concern that he might carry something out like this. what is your reaction to being the target of so much violence and hearing these new details just as they're breaking? >> well, i heard about the london situation, and i wish they would have told us about it a little bit. but it is what it is, you know? we had a great group of people there last night. we had both insides in terms of the people, the audience, and also because they were all, you know, they were, they were strong, relatively speaking, compared to what the potential threat was. 9 and the secret service and all law enforcement was, i thought they were outstanding, you know? you can always nitpick and everything else, but they were outstanding. they stopped him cold. there was no games being played, that i can tell you. you just looked at them, these were strong, solid people who have got to get paid.
8:06 am
you know, this is a group that is not being paid if you think about it, you know? the democrats are holding up their pay, and i think maybe they'll loosen up a little bit now because i thought, i thought great talent was displayed last night. bravery but talent. he came in run like he was an nfl running back, frankly. he was very fast, and they just stopped him cold. and there was no question, he never even came close to getting by the doors or getting through the doors. and if he did, there were so many people in there too, also security. you have to go through a lot of layers. they did really a good job. i was very satisfied with it. so was most -- so were most other people. jacqui: and i know that you want to get the next event later on once the ballroom's established to have them host events like this in the future, but as i understand it from our conversation last night, mr. president, that won't be ready
8:07 am
for next year's event, that i'll have to host, it certainly won't be ready for the rescheduled event in the next 30 days. >> right. jacqui: the washington hilton is host to a lot of of events every year that you go to. the first lady was just there on thursday at the first lady's luncheon delivering remarks in that same room -- >> right. jacqui: -- and the dinner's been held there every year since 1968. do you have any concern about holding the rescheduled event there andal next year's event? how we make that safe? >> it's always a tough when you have a thousand rooms. it's a large hotel right on top, so people come down in elevators, and they're right over the top of where you're speak toking, not forever away, and -- speaking. and as you know, we're building a a bigger beautiful, very, very secure ballroom in every way with massive bulletproof glass that's almost 4 inches thick. it's pretty amazing stuff -- jacqui: when do you think that will be ready? >> -- all the elements that you
8:08 am
need. you need drone-proofing, you needering. but we also need the location. the location's on the white house grounds which is the most secure probably in the world including the fencing and everything else. the president doesn't have to leave the premises. it's really very secure. and this is mostly for future presidents. we're actually ahead of schedule. and we're right on budget and ahead of schedule. it was always scheduled to open in '28. and probably i would have five or six months of use, but other people will have many years. hopefully hundreds of of years of use. but it's going to be a magnificent building. but it was also designed in conjunction with the military and in conjunction with secret service. it's got every single bell and whistle you can possibly have for security. and we'll have that done very much on time, even ahead of schedule. it's ahead of schedule now. and it's really what you need. you can't have a thousand rooms or whatever it is -- a very big hotel on top of the ballroom.
8:09 am
people come down in the elevator, and they're right next to the ballroom. and nobody's blaming them, they're good people. i know the people well. i've been there are many times. but, you know, it's had difficulty in the past. and the new one is not to have that kind of thing. you know, or all of the traps are knocked out, and this was designed at the highest level by the top military and secret service people. it's really a, it's a joint venture really. you know, presidents have wanted it for 150 years just because they wanted a big space. but military and secret service have wanted it for many years, and i'm getting it built. the one good thing is that now everybody knows how badly needed it is. jacqui: mr. president, you just credited, again, secret service for springing into action. as a person 40 who witnessed it right alongside you on that stage, it happened within moments. but does it strike you, sir, that for 70-plus days now the agency that they're under, dhs,
8:10 am
has not been funded? are you hopeful at all that this incident will force congress the reach an agreement to fund that agency that protected your life last night? >> yeah. that's right. and other agencies too, other great agencies that, you know, are brave pate ross, great people. -- patriots. they have a rough job, not an easy job. you know, when you have to stop murderers and get them out of our country, when you have to take people out of the country who have furredded seven people or five people or one person -- murdered. that was released from a jail in a country someplace, a lot of them came from venezuela are, a lot of them came from other countries. they came in from the congo. this was urn biden's open door policies that was terrible. we can try and make it nice and all, but there's nothing nice about it. we have people that are doing an incredible job of removing these people and just getting them out of the country or putting them in jail where they have to be. these are violent people, drug
8:11 am
dealers, drug lords were allowed without checking, without anything. over 11,888 murderers were let into our country with joe biden's open door policy. you know, these are the people that are getting them out. this is a tough job. these are nasty people that were let in, rough, tough, people. and by the way, in many cases very smart. you know, these assassins, they seem to be high iq people, but they're crazy. if so, you know, or secret service and all of different groups, you look at border patrol and i.c.e., i mean, i.c.e. is so incredible, border patrol's so incredible. you know, you have a hard time being recognized for the job they do. i'm very proud the recognize them. i think i had 100% of the vote of law enforcement. but, you know, it sort of showed last night when you were there are -- you did a great job. by the way, i watched you when i
8:12 am
got back. you saw what was going on. i mean, it was the strength and the power, nobody was getting in, and even if they got into the room, they were going to be hit fast. they didn't even get close to getting no those doors or he deny -- jacqui: i was really taken, mr. president -- >> they took him out so quickly. now, it's a tough thing when you have a hotel in the middle of a city with buildings all around and hotel rooms on top of you, you know, or it's a tough situation. but i thought secret service and law enforcement including, that includes d.c. police, law enforcement was great. i really thought they were great. and i would be the first to complain if they weren't, believe me. [laughter] they were looking at me probably more than anybody else. i think the administration -- and the guy is a sick guy when you read his manifesto. he hates christians. that's one thing for sure, he hates christians, a hatred. and i think his sister or his brother, actually, was complaining about it. you know, they were even
8:13 am
complaining to law enforcement. so he was a very troubled guy. jacqui: i was taken by your response immediately after it happened. you said we're going to continue the night. we're not going to let this person derail our plans for the evening. >> right. jacqui: have you been told, very quickly, that there was no additional threat in the room? is that why you felt comfortable proceeding if secret service allowed that that to happen? >> well, i hated a guy like this sick, bad person, i hated minute like that changing the course of our country. you know, we have all of these people, important people, not important people, all of these people gathered, record crowd. we had a record crowd last night. and you and the people that put it on did a fantastic job really. but that all of these people would have to leave, you know? for what?
8:14 am
for one nut? for one guy that is really, i mean, look, he's a very disturbed person. so i really wanted to go, and i really wanted to -- but the protocol was no. once those doors were opened -- that room was sealed. and once the doors were opened because people were pouring in, and there were police and secret service, and they poured in a lot of them, but once those doors are hope, it breaks the seal. and when they planned it, you know, maybe it's possible somebody -- if it were more than one person, somebody could have come in. but i really wanted to do to it that night even if we stayed late into the night. but we dead the right thing, and we came back to the white house and did a news conference and explained what happened. in now we're doing it a little bit more by talking to you. but we did the right thing. now, i hope that we can have it within a short period of time where there's -- whether it's 30 days, but i hope we can do it. because we can't let these criminals ask these really bad
8:15 am
people change the course of events in our country. we have to -- you know, it's an important event. that was going to be an important event. i mean, i was going to make an entirely different speech. i was going to really rip it last night -- [laughter] then i said, well, my speech is going to be much differentful it'll be a speech of to love. but i didn't get a chance to do that. probably i was better off if i didn't, you know i don't know. but i think it's important. and, you know, your president when headed -- chairman or president, she did a really good way. it was sad because she worked so hard, and she's a good person. cbs, as you know, was the lead. i think you're going to be the lead next year. but i think it's very -- and i look forward to in the year '28, you're going to have a ballroom that's the top of the line security. you're not going to have problems like this. jacqui: what's the latest that you've learned, mr. president, about this alleged shooter's motive? do you know how long he was
8:16 am
planning this for? >> well, they have some pretty good information. he had a lot of hatred in his heart for quite a while. and he just, i don't know, h a s thing, it was strongly anti-christian. and i don't know if you've gotten it, it just got released, manifesto. can you believe it? so he's got some big problems with the rest of his life. very, very bad, very bad situation. jacqui: on that same -- >> his family knew that he had difficulty. his family seemed to be, i think they spent a lot of time with his family. his family says he had difficulty. maybe they should have reported him a little bit more strongly, probably. but it's a hard thing to do, i guess. jacqui: as you're learning about how this man's ideology was shaped, it makes me think about fisa, the surveillance tool that expires this coming week.
8:17 am
>> right. jacqui: it allows the fbi to surveil potential terrorists who are overseas, and we don't know right now if this individual was radicalized by somebody like that. do you think about the importance of having these tools to protect our country from these kinds of thinking threats, and how will you get that message to congress when there's a, you know, a right to now that that's skeptical about renewing those powers? >> well, jacqui, i know both sides of to it because fisa was used existence me v very, very viciously by a dirty cop. they called me gang, comeyif his remnants -- comey and his remnants, and it was used against me very illegally. they signed court orders that were illegal. and i think one of -- every one of these people should be prosecuted, frankly. now, that's the bad news. the good news is that the
8:18 am
military really needs it, and it's really knee needed for national security. there's a division, but i was willing to give that up because, again, it was used against me more than anybody else. and by bad people, by sick people also. comey was terrible, he was a terrible, sick american. he had a little problem. and i used the word to describe, he was a dirty cop. bad guy. and there were other bad guys, they used fisa illegally. they used it for a purpose that it wasn't supposed to be used for. okay. well, the other side they had the military. general raisin cain, look at the success we had in venezuela, look at the success we're having with iran. i mean, iran is decimated, and we got a lot of information by losing -- using fisa. it made the job a lot safer and
8:19 am
easier. what i would say, what i've done and i've told people, i'm willing to give up my security for the military. ultimately, to me, that's the highest cause. soup you, u.n. i'm in paver of it, but i know it was used against me unsuccessfully, ultimately, because i ended up winning. but it was a vicious thing that happened. however, we need it for the military so we have to, hopefully, get it approved many strong storm. georgia. jacqui: and the carter page fisa parents, that's title i of fisa which is permanent law. >> right. jacqui: it does not need to be renewed. >> report in. jacqui: what expires is section 702 that specifically pertains to suspected terrorists, foreigners living abroad outside the united states that our intelligence community needs the surveil to monitor for any threats that might come to the
8:20 am
homeland. >> right. jacqui: and when you're thinking about the heightened threat environment and something that youly in every day, is the -- this is now, you've had multiple attempts on your life. you're at the pend -- end of the day i human being with a family. and i i just want to know what the conversation was between you and your family members last night after you left the premises. >> well, they sort of said to me, you have a dangerous job. i've known that. i didn't know it was quite as dangerous when i ran very innocently for president, but i'm very happy with the job we've done. and, you know, consequential, really if you're a consequential president, you're in much more danger than if you're not a consequential president. most presidents are not very consequential. they don't do the job and that they're supposed to be doing. i mean, we have to stop iran from having a like around -- nuclear weapon -- jacqui: where does that stand?
8:21 am
>> israel would get blown up from within minutes from the time they got it. so we can't let have a nuclear weapon. so this should have been done by previous presidents. it could have been done for years. 47 years, it's been going on, and nobody did anything about it. we had to do that. i took the greatest economy we've ever had, and i said we're going to have to take a little detour and stop that from happening. and that's what happened. it'll come to an end very soon, and we're going to be very victorious. but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. so when you do that, no other president was willing to do it. they should have done it. would have been a lot easier because they had far fewer arms and far heads power, you know, if you did it ten years ago, five years a ago, twenty years ago. they had far less power. we've taken that power away from them, and we've done a good job. but heed we had to do it other side our country would have been very unsafe as would the world.
8:22 am
jacqui: where do those negotiations stand right now on iran? >> well, i called them back, our people. the flight is about 17 hours. we have gate respect for the field marshal of pakistan and for the prime minister of pakistan. they're great people. they're really good. but, you know, it's a 17, 18-hour flight. i said when is this meeting taking place, and it was going to be on tuesday and it was saturday. they're leaving, you know, and by the the time they get there it's hours and hours and hours of flying, and i said we're not doing this anymore. we have all the cards. if they want the talk, they can come to us or they can call us. you know, this is a telephone. we have nice secure lines although i'm not sure any telephone line is secure, frankly. we have secure lines, and if they like, we're not sending people to travel 18 hours to, literally, think of this, we a had a meeting for tuesday and it was on saturday that i was saying when are we to meeting? tuesday. so great respect for pakistan,
8:23 am
but i -- because they've been terrific. they've really tried. and they'll stay involved. but we're going to do it by telephone. so if they want, they can call us. but, again, they know what has to be in the agreement. very simple, they cannot have a nuclear weapon. other side there's no reason to meet. jacqui: you have said, mr. president, that you're in no rush to reach a deal in part because the in-fighting between the moderates and what's left of the government and the hard-liners further sort of fractures what's left of the regime and that also in a matter of days their oil vessels, their tankers, their production system will explode. >> right. jacqui: and can you talk about the advantage that that gives the u.s. in terms of waiting this out and how time is on the u.s. side of this negotiation? >> well, i don't know if it's an advantage. i think the the big advantage is that we've taken out their navy
8:24 am
in its entirety. we've taken out of their air force left. they have no navy left. their leaders are gone which is a good thing. they were far more radical radicalized than the people we're dealing with now. some of them have are very reasonable people, and others are not. they're not getting along. there's a lot of in-fighting, as you know, but they don't have anti-aircraft or radar equipment. it's all been blown up.. their factories, making missiles have been damaged about 75% of which isn't 100%, so there's danger there. and their drone making ability has been damaged about 80%, 82%. they're in bad shape. i mean, they're really in bad shapes. and, of course, we've bone the blockade that's been unbelievably effective. what you're referring to is when you have, rune, lines of cast amounts of policy pouring
8:25 am
through your system, if nor any reason that line is closed because you can't continue to put it into containers or ships which has happened to them, what happens is that line explodes from within. both mechanically and in the earth. something happens where it just explodes, and they say they only have about three days left before that happens. and when it expose pose concern explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it was. in other words, it will always be -- if you ore build it, it's hard to rebuild it all, but it would only be about 50 president of what it is right now. so it's a very powerful thing that takes place. sort of having to do with nature. when that gets clocked at the tend, in other words, you have to turn it off because you have no place to store this oil, peter put it on ships or storage plants which they are just about finished with, a already bad thing's going to happen. so i think they're under
8:26 am
pressure, but i think the big pressure is we've really militarily, our military is incredible. i wilt and rebuilt our military. we're asking for $is -- 1.2 is and $1.5 trillion. we have the agreest military in the world, so we'll see what happens. i hope they're going to be smart. and if they're not smart, we're to going to win anyway. yeah jeff so three days from now approximately their oil production system could explode. obviously, that would do great challenge to the min main source of revenue and have a big impocket on on the trajectory of things. i know you have been disappointed in our allies with nato, and on monday, tomorrow, king charles is visiting.
8:27 am
buckingham palace are issued a statement on last night saying his majesty is greatly relieved to hear that the president, first lady and all guests have been unharmed. that message from buckingham palace about what you went through last night. are your plans for the king's to visit remaining as they were? will anything change as a are the result of what happened yesterday? >> yeah, that's a good question. you've got a lot of little points in there. you're doing a weave on me like i do all the time. [laughter] that's a big question. first of all, king charles is coming, and he's a great guy. we look forward to it. he's really a fantastic person. and a tremendous representative. and he's brave, you know, he's very tough to fight. he's got a problem with, as you know, very well documented problem with his health, and he's been amazing. actually, he's very brave actually. and he's a friend of mine for a long time. so he's to coming, and we're going to have a great time.
8:28 am
and he represents his nation like nobody else can do it. as far as nato, i am very, very disappointed in nato because they weren't there. you know, we spend trillions of dollars on nato in order to protect europe from russia. and we've always been there, and we would always be there. they can't do it without us. and yet when we wanted a little help, and we did it without any help. we didn't really need it. to be honest, i don't think i've ever said this before, but e really sort of asked them just out of curiosity because i'd like the see if they would be there. you know, we've wiped out, largely wiped out the opposition. if we ever had to keep going, we'd wipe them out very quickly, the are rest of it, the remainder. and i hope we don't have to do that, but it may be possible that we do. he was no cohesion, their
8:29 am
leadership is very strange. [laughter] sometimes you don't have any idea who the hell you're dealing with. but it's just, you know, one of these things that we're going to get it, we're going to win. but nato was not there for us. and i would ask, would you like to join us? and they said, sir, we don't want to get involved. yeah, they said we don't want to get involved. and, frankly, went think said we tonight want to get involved, u.k. said, oh, no, we'll send ships as soon as the war is over. that's not good. we just can't have that. so we are not happy. let me put it way, we are not happy with nato. nato did not seven us well. we've been serving them for many years spending trillions of dollars, and when we wanteded a little help, they were not there. charles: jacqui: do you want to talk about this with king charles? they have intelligence in their
8:30 am
countries. your administration has spoken at length about the fact that irans had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs. that sounds like pretty compelling information for an intelligence agency to shape their response for to something. do you get the sense the intelligence agencies of our allies had the same threat of that and communicated that bell enough with the u.s.? >> yell, i don't know. if we didn't go in there seven, eight months ago with those beautiful b-2 bombers, very, very incredible stealth, incredible technology. we actually ordered 22 more of the new version. they're unbelievable. but we went in there at 1:00 in the morning. fro noon, dark. every single bomb hit the target and blew it up. everybody knew they had it, pretty much every country that knew anything knew they had it.
8:31 am
the problem was it should have been done by oh presidents because they had it a long time, they were developing it for a long time. and they were about two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon until we blew it up. a part of the thing is we have to take, i call it the nuclear dust, right? we have to take it, we're going to take it. and that's parking lot of our negotiation with iran. we don't want them to have it. they -- look, we feel, we'll help iran, do a lot of things, but they cannot have a like around weapon. and we're not going to get somebody blow up the middle east to, or israel, europe. the we're the -- we're the furthest away. you're. jacqui: you're supposed to meet with president xi in a couple of weeks. >> i am. jacqui: what's the latest there? >> they're helping but not much.
8:32 am
they could help more. i'm not overly disappointed. we help people too. what about china, what about russia, what about this, that? we also help. we help graham as an -- the par should never started. you know, it's blood bath over there. it's horrible. so many soldiers are getting killed, it's just crazy actually. but, you know, we could make the case that we helped ukraine, and i don't mention it to too many people, but i mentioned it to you. so i think china could have been much worse than they've been, so i don't consider them having been bad. jacqui: you referenced ukraine. have you spoken with president putin at all recently. >> i have. we're trying to to get something done, but the fighting continues. and it's a very bloody war.
8:33 am
i settled eight wars. this is one that i thought i would have add the easiest time. hate is a bad thing. hate is a bad thing when you're trying to settle something. it'll happen, it'll happen. jacqui: what was the last conferring you had with putin? >> well, i don't want to reveal that, but i do have conversations with him, and i do have conversations with president certificate zelenskyy, and good morns. i settled all these wars including india-pakistan. that could have been a nuclear war. i settled it at the very beginning the prime minister of pakistan said i saved from 30-50 million lives, it could have been more than that. but my porn if to do it. we're working on the russia situation and ukraine, and hopefully, we're going to get it
8:34 am
jackie. i would have thought that one, because of relationships i would have thought that would be thiest one, and us -- it really is the most difficult. and it's not as complex as some of the ones that settled quickly. jacqui: i want to to get your thought on some issues here at home. your to virginia and redistricting. do you think that florida should make a go at it? >> i do, but i think the virginia case is terrible. what they've done is is so -- it's unconstitutional. it's before the court. you know, the you are the courts ended that case. and if you look at the referendum and the question, it was not understandable. it was written in such a way that nobody understands what it meant. inus -- including, nobody knows. jacqui: were you surprise ared to see it go that way? >> i was very impressed with the fact that -- because i happen to think that there's a lot of
8:35 am

we love. we learn. we cut it razor-sharp and keep it green. because this isn't some royal palace, it's just soil, sweat, and 250 years of the american yard. so come around back, we'll show you what it's all about. jacqui: one of the videos of the chaotic scene that followed last night's scene was of house majority whip tom emmer being
8:41 am
helped out of the ballroom which added to some confusion in those unfolding moments. congressman emmer joins me now. thank you very much for joining me, sir, and i'm glad to see you're okay. the video we were all watching was because you were being helped out of the room because you've got a scooter, and it looked like you'd been hurt. >> well, and i was telling -- by the way, great job last night. the president's amazing. i -- the issue is i've got a foot problem that my right leg is many a cast. so i had had to take a scooter to the event which, by the way, matched pretty well with my tux. [laughter] i thought it did pretty well. but you couldn't keep it on the floor because there were 3,000 people there, and it was so tight. so they had to take the scooter elsewhere. and, obviously, they told us we had to get out, so i had a couple of human crutches that were helping me escape out the side door to get to the scooter
8:42 am
which, ultimately, i rode out. jacqui: i'm glad that's all it was. there were some pretty scary moments when we -- it was unclear if the threat was in the room or outside the room, if there was more than one threat. you went through that, as i did. what were you thinking watching all of that unfold, especially with the president on stage along with the vice president, first lady, karoline leavitt who's nine months pregnant? it must have brought back a lot of memories of butler and other horrific political acts of violence. >> first off or everybody processes these things so differently, right? some people it completely devastates them personally because it's just such a traumatic experience. others, i probably fall into this, are more -- i turned. i knew what it was. it just was too unique a sound. and then there were multiple. and watching that back door, because you knew it was coming from somewhere over there, and
8:43 am
all of a sudden seeing all kinds of staff and guests all scrambling away from the door waiting to see if whatever it was was actually going to come through the door. i watched our first lady. she handled it amazingly. she recognized it right away, and i'm pretty sure she was telling the president to get down, because she got down. he took a little bit more time. he was surveying the situation as he does. but j.d., everybody handled it, i would say the president's call-out the our law enforcement, it was so amazing, what they did last night. you know, people, i'm sure, will come back with hindsight, well, you could have done this, you could have done that. every one of these events you can always do better, you can always learn something from them, but the security was so many layers. i think that's the term the president used, that this guy had to run past a magnetometer.
8:44 am
he had to run past the safety check. and the video that you've shown several times shows him literally sprinting through the hallway and, what, he fortunately was unable to publish whatever evil act he planned to accomplish with that handgun. i think he had a long gun or a rifle with him and knives. clear wily, he was there for something that he thought was going to be more extensive. and it was over like that. jacqui: yeah. thanks to secret service for that. we did hear from the white house that this suspect, cole allen, had a manifesto saying that he wanted to target trump administration officials. he had a lot of anti-trump and anti-christian rhetoric on his social media accounts. he purchased two with handguns and a shotgun from a -- [inaudible] and kept them stored at his parents' house. he would apparently go regular hi to train at the range with his firearms. he was parking lot of a grouped
8:45 am
called -- part of a group called the wide awakes and went to a no kings protest in california. this information stemmed from the interview that secret service and montgomery county police did with allen's sister, rihanna allen are, at their residence in maryland. so the investigation is ongoing. the fact that vet service had to block yet another threat to the president's life, you can't help but think about dhs funding. that agency oversees secret service. 70-plus days now that it hasn't been fully funded. there have been a few members who bring up the bill in the senate that has not come to the floor in the house. what's your view of that piece of legislation? what's going. to happen in your chamber to get dhs funded? >> well, listen, the senate could do it yesterday. we've sent over two other complete funding bills of the dhs bill. they chose in the middle of the night to send one back missing two very important pieces. this is going to get done in the
8:46 am
house. it's going to get done by republicans, ultimately. it's very unfortunate. but i want to go back. this is a 31-year-old adulh hisd you're telling me that even though they knew that there were some red flags on this, that they were unaware of guns, weapons, whatever, in their own home? there are lots of questions that are going to need to be answered. and then think about what happened last night in spite of 71 days of refusing to fund some of the most important law enforcement officers the in our country, tsa,, the guard. we're not just talking about secret service. we're not just talking about all of these other law enforcement agencies. this is a big, big deal that these democrats are literally playing with the safety of americans. by the way, republican, democrat and other, it doesn't matter what your political perspective
8:47 am
is, it's about americans' safety. the fact that these guys performed so flawlessly last night while under the stress of wondering whether they're going to continue to get paid and all the rest of it is even to more impressive. jacqui: we haven't seen these incidents move the needle yet. it's been some time that we had congress sort of at a standstill on this issue. i don't know what moves that forward. do you have any sort of plan in terms of is it breaking out i.c.e. and doing the? what, what actually has legs here? because we just, we hear the two sides stick to their talking points on it, and i think people at home trying to distill this for the viewer at home who can't wrap their head around the fact that we were we are in this heightened threat environment, the president of the united states had yet another attempt on his life last night, and the people who are tasked with protecting him are not fully
8:48 am
funded by our lawmakers. we're on the horizon of the midterms. what changes? enter well, look, let's back up a little bit. ' 34reu7bs in the -- republicans in the house have performed over and over and over again. i believe we have sent that pull funding package over -- full funding package over to the senate four times -- jacqui: you have, yes. >> -- to include last year. the idea of what your plan is, our plan is to do all the funding that we were elected to do. and for the paris time ever, alt time in decades, all 12 bills were done and sent over. there was bipartisan agreement on this one, by. it was republicans -- jacqui. and, by the way, it was senate republicans and senate democrats and senate house republicans and house democrats that all agreed to the bill until chuck schumer decided to pull out two pieces of the bill and make that political issue. wrong time to be playing with america's safety from the minority. the people in the house and the president have talked about it
8:49 am
regularly. filibuster is not being used as a negotiating tool anymore to protect the minority, it's being used as a political tool. this is not about doing the job. this is about using the filibuster to stop things from happening. and they figure, i suppose, that if americans are at risk, those that are in the white house, those that are controlling congress are going to own it. that is a very sad state of affairs. i think we're going to keep doing our job in the house and, to your point, jackie, this week the plan is to move forward with fisa, move forward with the farm bill and, ultimately, to get the budget resolution that was sent over by the senate passed so is that we can get all of homeland security funded. of and apparently, it's going to have to be with only republican votes because this is a left, a democrat problem. jacqui: you're right to note it is the democrats who have blocked this repeatedly. i don't mean to disparage the whole chamber, but i'm asking
8:50 am
more like will you put the bill on the floor every day, make the democrats vote against it until people at home can see clearly what the problem is? >> things like that. when you have the majority, how do you use it? >> i would love that, jacqui. [laughter] but i think it's more important than rather us benefiting politically, we just get the job done. jacqui: okay. congressman emmer -- very happy to have you with us and happy you're okay. >> well, and happy that our president and first lady are safe. jacqui: still ahead, how the journalists switched gears from a party atmosphere into reporter mode. we'll be right back.

jacqui: following the shooting at last night's white house correspondents' dinner, photojournalist andrew harnick was in the room, getty images, right there are up on the stage with me. and, andy, you and i heard secret service telling us to get down, and i saw you next to me reach for your camera and start shooting what was happening. tell us there your perspective what was going through your head. >> well -- jacqui: you shot this video. >> yeah, this is my video. you know, i've covered politics for 23 years. a lot of times we've covered
8:55 am
difficult situations, protests. i was in the capitol during january 6th. but, you know, those things, those events happened over hours. this really, because of the -- this happened in secret service time. so you're talking seconds and then minutes. so i really just reached for whatever was closest to me and hit the button. and, unfortunately, that was my iphone instead of my professional camera which was sitting on stage with me. jacqui: i saw you a minute after that. i was laying flat on the ground looking aunt9 the agent who had his gun drawn, and he was mentioning at you to get down. you were up with your lens. you're the eyes of history, and it speaks to how important it is for your job, dissecting it as we are. you didn't hesitate even for a moment, andy, and i'm sure that that's muscle memory at this point. but how do you learn that? >> it's 00% muscle memory --
8:56 am
100%. you know, last night was supposed to be, you know, a fun event for me. we have getty images had an that was working that night. but, you know, things just clicked over. we heard boom, boom, boom and, you know, from the vantage point that you and i had, there was a sea of secret service agents rushing at us across the ballroom. and something just clicked and you just go into work mode. you know, you're capturing what happens in the moment. the photographers are the eyes of the press corps and, you know, or that means that we have to be there in the moment. and when these things happen, not after. so you just react. jacqui: you were one of our award winners for capturing another iconic moment, you're going to be recognized in the program that didn't happen. and it speaks to why you deserve that so much because you did it once again last night.
